Week 3
Our Evolution Over the Past 500 Million Years
A lot happened to us over the past 0.5 billion years. We became deuterostomes with heads, backbones, legs, hair and nipples. This post-Cambrian period contains only about 10% of our evolution but is the focus of ~90% of all biologists. Astrobiological and microbiological perspectives are needed to cure this vertebrate-centrism.
